How too use the string tokeniser class to format date strings

Question

Using the code below I want to write a method which takes a string as a parameter and process it as follows:
Input: 21/07/62
Output: 21st July 62
I wish to do this using the string tokenizer class. Can anyone help??
import java.io.*;
public class Input
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
String theString;
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter your string now please");
theString = stdin.readLine(); // throws IOException
System.out.println("You entered ***" + theString + "***");
}

You can certainly use a StringTokenizer to parse your date into three numbers but I think you should use SimpleDateFormat, which will even help you generate your desired format: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
